lie-.it known that we,'Ar.ni:-:R'r F. J ONES and Baxsun J. Evans, citizens oi the United States, residing, respectively, at Wautoina, county of \Vaushara, and New London, county of Waupaca, State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and useful Improvement in At tachments for Cream-Separators, of which the following isaspecifi'cation. j, 4

' Our obiect is to connect the lower pertoi a supply can of a cre am separator on thelevel with the top of a bowl,

' as required, to lower the can, toiacilitate pouring milk intoila; Y

--. Our invention consists in "the constructien and combination of elements and 'sub-cpinbinations', and the arrangement and combination of pajrts with a separator; bowl, as hereinafter set'iorth, pointed out incur claims, l

and "illustrated in the accompanying drawings; in whichzi Figure 1 is a side View of the float valve" having. an open stern at its lower end. ."Fig. 2a a corresponding view of the. valveseat has a tubular extension to receive the valve stem and is adaptedto-be detachably connected with thesupply can and the bowl. Fig; 3 is" I a verticalsectionalview, thatshows the top portion of the machine provided with 'aipupportior the supply can, and thesupply can 'provided'lwith a support for thedetachablevalve seat and its tubular extension, and

' the float yalve in'position, as required, to open conimunication between the supply can and the bowl.

Fig.4 is a horizontal seotional view of Fig. 3, that shows the valve'open','as required, to permit milk to flow from the supply can into the bowl.

he numeral 10 designates the top portion of the bowlof themachine into whichmilk is conveyed from the 1 relatively to the bowl. f

supply can 12 'th'at rests upon'the support 13 in the form of a 'tray or pan fix'ed;to the upper portionof the ma-' chine frame 14, the tlange'or vcrtical part of the pan supportwill rest in the end portion oi the bowl 10,

Iasshown in Fig. 3, as required, to -allow a valve support:

to restfupon the top of the bowl and to lower a milk can A support for the lloat vlalvejn the form oi' a tubular ll-joint 15, is detachably eonneeted with the bottom of i a supply can 12 bymeansof a'li p 16 litted in the bottom.

of the can, and pmvided with an extension 17 at its outer end, as shownin Fig. 3, in such-a manner that the .support 15 can berwdily connectedwith the extras sion 17,.

"The vertical part'oi the 'I-joint support 15 has an opening 18, that coincides with the opening :01 its horizontal part, that can be opened and closed by adjusting the float valye rotatably connected to the support, as

. shown in Fig. 3. I v I The valve seat is a cup 19, that hasa-frxcd tubular oxtension 20, communicating with the bottom and center of the cup, and the extensionhas an aperture 21 that i. Specification of Letters fatent.

can be placcd'in coinciding position with the opening 18 in the vertical part'oi the support 15. In Fig. 3 the aperture 21 is in-coninciding position with the open end of the horizontal part of the support 15, asrequired, to allow milk to llow irom the supply can 12 into the bowl 10. By rotating the cup 19 and its tubular extension 20 a half revolution, the aperture 21 willbe "closed and the opening 18 opened, as required, to allow air into thetubularextension 2Q;

line at the top oi'it's circumference, and the tubular extension 20 has a. fixedstop 23 that engages the shoulders 22, as required, to restrict the revolution oi the cup- The valve is e'omposed of a that 24- in the form of a cylindrical air-tlght -vess'e1 fitted loosely in the cup 19 cent r'of its bottom, to extend down intoth'etubular its central portion. The openings'27 allow milk to flowfrom the can 12 through the,open i ng.21 in the tubu- 10, and whenever there is toomuch accumulation. of. milk in the bowl the milk will'rise in the stem and press valve stem are thus raised the lower portion oi the stein will partly close the aperture 21 in the tubular stem 20, and thus automatically regulate the [low of milk from gage .the upper part of the bowl and connecting the valve support with the bottom oi the milk can 12, as shown in Fig. 3, the said valve support/can rest direct upon the top of the bowl 10, as required, to securely support the milk can on a'leyel with the tbp oi the bowl in such a manner that the support of the valve and the valve can be readily detached from the milk-can for flange and supply can and forming a channel, a valve working in said valve support.

The stem has apertures 26 at its top and openings 27 at upwards and lift the float 24 in the cup 19 and pass into the cupand retain it elevated. And as the float'and support adapted to he connected to said llp, and a valve'- and provided with a tubular yalve stern 25 fixed to the lar extension into the stem and downinto the bowl the can 12 into the bowl 10. By thus fixing-themilk I can support 13 to the machine so that its flange will on cleaning, and the milk can lifted away from its fixed too 1.
